Justin Bieber, 31, shared a series of personal moments with his nearly 300 million Instagram followers on Monday, offering rare glimpses of his one-year-old son, Jack Blues.
The pop star, whose forthcoming album SWAG II includes references to his marriage with wife Hailey Bieber, posted photos of himself kayaking with Jack. In the images, Bieber wore pieces from his SKYLRK clothing line, including a red sweatshirt and matching beanie.
He also uploaded close-up selfies, giving fans an intimate view of his scruffy beard and nose piercing.
Hailey Bieber, 28, also shared a glimpse of the couple’s son, Jack Blues, via her Instagram Story, shortly after his first birthday on August 22. The Biebers, who have been deliberate in shielding their child’s identity from public exposure, continue to post only carefully chosen images that obscure his face.
Justin Bieber’s latest project, SWAG II, mirrors its predecessor in featuring heartfelt tributes to his wife, Hailey. The Canadian pop star has used his recent music to reflect openly on his marriage and personal journey through fame. On Better Man, the second track of the album, he expresses devotion with the lines: “When you take my hand / Honey, I promise you just tenderness / Pour me out when you come in / And you turn me to a better man.”
The couple celebrated the album’s release last week at a party in New York City, less than two months after Bieber surprised fans with the drop of SWAG on July 11.
The timing of SWAG II coincided with a career milestone for Hailey, who launched her Rhode skincare line at Sephora. The brand, three years post-debut, announced in May that it had entered into a $1 billion partnership with e.l.f. Beauty. Commenting on the deal, Hailey stated: “I always had big dreams for the company… I found a like-minded disruptor with a vision to be a different kind of company that believes in big ideas and innovation in the same way that I do and will help us continue to grow the brand.”
The pair are preparing to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary, having first married in a New York courthouse on September 13, 2018, followed by a traditional ceremony in 2019.
Hailey marked Jack’s recent birthday by sharing professional photographs of herself with him, captioning: “1 year of you my beautiful boy. Happy 1st Birthday Jack Blues, you are joy personified.”
While the couple continues to guard their son’s privacy, Jack made a subtle public debut in the visualizer for Bieber’s track Yukon, offering fans a fleeting glimpse of the child’s presence in his father’s artistry.#newsafro_
